Can UNC win the ACC in 2016?

The 2015 College Football season was very close to being a dream season for the North Carolina Tar Heels.

After suffering a lost to South Carolina in the season opener, the Tar Heels won 11 consecutive games. This run gave North Carolina the opportunity to face the Clemson Tigers in the ACC Championship.

UNC was unsuccessful versus Clemson in the ACC championship. In addition, they lost to Baylor in the Russell Athletic Bowl just weeks later. That left the Tar Heels with an 11-3 record to end the season.

This season, the Tar Heels will seek another berth in the ACC Championship. With the return of several key players, it’s a realistic possibility. Here are five things that will play a factor in the possibility of North Carolina winning the ACC.
